The Lyrische Camerata presents a new international collaboration with conductor Tim Ribchester in a special sacred music project for Holy Week in Berlin.
This moving concert features Giovanni Battista Pergolesi’s timeless masterpiece Stabat Mater, one of the most profound and emotionally powerful works of the Baroque sacred repertoire.
